The International Conference “Poultry in the 21st Century – Avian Influenza and beyond” took place in Bangkok on 5-7 November 2007. The objectives of the conference were to review the global poultry sector in its entirety, to assess past developments, the current situation as well as to explore options for its future. Special attention was given to the social, environmental and health implications of sector change and on policy adjustments required addressing such change. Thematically it was separated into three sessions: Sector trends and impacts; Risks and challenges; and Poultry as a development tool – each with plenary contributions, round-tables and working groups. All sectors of the poultry industry were represented including multinational corporations, poultry breeding companies, international agencies, as well as research, development and NGO communities. It was this unique ‘coming together’ of key stakeholders in the poultry sector that made this conference stimulating and valuable. The extended electronic version of this publication contains in addition to the original version the full text of all background papers that were prepared for the International Conference. This publication is intended to provide information about the global development of the poultry sector and to provide policy guidance for the future.
